Ammon News - Israeli forces dawn Thursday gunned down a Palestinian in Qalandiya refugee camp, north of the occupied West Bank city of Jerusalem, according to the Health Ministry.

The Health Ministry announced in a press statement that Samir Awni Harbi Aslan succumbed to death by an Israeli army bullet that pierced through his chest.

Aslan, 41, was killed while he was trying to prevent Israeli soldiers from detaining his son during a military raid into the camp.

While withholding Aslan’s body bleeding, the gun-toting soldiers prevented people from providing first aid to the slain young man.
